Overview of The Pavilion Senior Living

The Pavilion Senior Living is a 74-bed senior living community in Lebanon, Tennessee, offering a wide continuum of care that includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation services, skilled nursing, and respite care. This broad range of support makes the community one of the more comprehensive care options in the area for older adults whose needs may change over time.

One of the community’s key advantages is the ability to provide multiple levels of care within the same setting, which can reduce the stress and disruption often associated with moving between separate care communities as medical or personal care requirements evolve. The community also maintains licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants on staff, supporting both long-term residents and individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalization. Rehabilitation services and respite stays are also available, making the community a practical option for families seeking temporary recovery support or short-term caregiver relief.

Located on Medical Center Drive in Lebanon, the community sits in a largely car-dependent area with limited walkability to nearby errands or services. Transportation planning may therefore be an important consideration for residents and visiting family members.

The Pavilion Senior Living is a practical option for older adults and families looking for flexibility and long-term continuity in care planning. For families navigating post-acute recovery, progressive memory loss, or future care uncertainty, the community’s broad service model offers a level of adaptability that is not always available in smaller or single-focus senior living settings.

Overview of Memory Assisted Living at Uplands Village

Memory Assisted Living at Uplands Village offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing home and skilled nursing care, and respite care in Pleasant Hill, TN. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space, independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Because these care levels are available in one community, it may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time and who may want to remain in the same community.

Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing on site around the clock for residents who need that level of support. Respite care offers a short stay, which can suit a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover. With 31 beds, the community is smaller, giving staff and residents the opportunity to get to know one another.

Starting prices are $4,649 for memory care, $4,080 for assisted living, and $1,007 for independent living. Each rate corresponds to its named care level, from a secured and supervised memory care setting to assisted living support or independent living without daily care. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care.

The Home Healthcare program provides healthcare in a resident’s home, while rehabilitation services and short-term rehab support recovery during a limited stay. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet with them. Amanda Waldo serves as administrator, and Uplands Village operates the community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Tennessee

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Tennessee?

Assisted living in Tennessee is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover assisted living?

Tennessee Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Tennessee) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 297 assisted living facilities in Tennessee. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Tennessee?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Tennessee, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Tennessee?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
